If you go here to Sew Passionista, you'll find many photos of this amazing little workhorse of a garment and hopefully get inspired to try one. You will need less than an hour to sew this wrap and will wear it constantly, I promise. So here is one example
Instructions:
Fabric.... Amount : 20" to 25" of at least 60" (150 cms. ) wide
Type : a drapey fabric , preferably a knit but wovens will work if they are light weight
such as georgette. Knits can include sweater , crochet, jersey, ponte, mesh, lace,
boucle, etc.
METHOD.... (You may find the chart I've includeD helpful )
Before you begin, take a look at your selvedges and decide if you like them. They can become a finished edge. Other wise , if you have a serger, prefinish all edges before starting to sew your wrap together.
1... Fold your fabric with right sides together selvedge to selvedge.
2...Place a pin 15" from fold .This is your neck opening. Sew from pin to the selvedge.
3...If desired, fold neckline seam allowance and top stitch. .
You could leave this seam as a serged edge if you want.
4. Press your seam and you're finished !
This is a chart I made to use for my Sewing Group. I hope it will make the instructions more clear.
Excuse the photography.
OPTIONAL:. Add buttons down the seam or an exposed zipper for a funky design detail
Finish hems with bias binding to add some oomph to your wrap.
Fringe the hem or sew on a fringe for a really cool finish.
Come up with your own idea for a unique wrap .
I hope you'll try this great little topper. It's a lot of fun to wear and adds pizazz to any outfit.
Until next time from
